Chapter 2. Installing and starting the employee rostering starter application on OpenShift

Procedure

1. Download the rhdm-7.1.0-add-ons.zip file from the Software Downloads page for Red Hat Decision Manager 7.1.
2. Unzip the downloaded archive.
3. Unzip the employee rostering zip file (rhdm-7.1.0-employee-rostering.zip) that is extracted from the add-ons archive.

Procedure

1. Using the command line, change to the optashift-employee-rostering-7.11.0.Final-redhat-00002/sources folder.

2. Run the provision script to build and deploy the application:

   ./provision.sh setup employee-rostering --binary

   Note

   If the current OpenShift user name contains characters that are not letters or numbers, the deployment might fail. You can resolve this issue by providing an additional parameter: ./provision.sh setup employee-rostering --binary --project-suffix optaweb. This example uses "optaweb", but you can use any value for the suffix.

   Compilation and packaging might take several minutes to complete. They continually show progress on the command line output.

   When the operation is completed, the following message is displayed: Uploading file "target/ROOT.war" as binary input for the build …​.

3. Use the OpenShift web UI to view the details for the deployed application. Click the link in the Routes section to open the starter application. The first startup can take up to a minute as additional building is completed on the OpenShift platform.

   1. Deploy updates to the code to an existing deployment:
